What's that fancy tool jig thing doing, is it for pressing in the oil seal or is it to remove the black plastic circular piece?

From memory the tool is used for installing the oil seal, I am sure Crasher will confirm or correct me

Yes, it is for pressing on a new seal in exactly the correct position with the crank locked in place up front. Feeling a lot better now after a Vodka so back to work in the morning to remove a Scirocco TFSI head in the morning and count hundreds of Powerflex bushes in of the afternoon.

Good you have some work coming in keeping your business going. I will be taking a look at your Ebay shop. When the TT is up and running again I will be after a complete set for the front end and my brother in law requires a set for the rear of his TT coupe (all ready fitted Powerflex on the front end) Take care stay safe

If you make it clear on the order that you are a forum chap, John will do you some discount, possibly better to ring and order so it is less complex.
